I have been a Floral designer for over 35 years. The last shop I worked in closed during covid and I was gifted a 3 door floral cooler…so I guess it was meant to be. I opened my home based floral studio in my garage and it’s been blooming ever since!

I love my work and my customers love it too!   I specialize in weddings and events. But also create beautiful arrangements for all occasions. If it’s for a birthday, anniversary, get well, sympathy or just because, I custom design each arrangement to fit the occasion, and I always use the freshest flowers available.

Here is one of the many fed backs I have received,  It feels so good to help make a special day even a little more special with floral arrangements.      “Hi Dawn! Thank you so much for everything! The flowers were so beautiful! The aisle looked stunning and the centerpieces and bouquets exceeded my expectations! We appreciate all your hard work and help making our wedding day more than we could have ever imagined! “

My team consist of me! I put my personal touch on all of my arrangements. I do have help for my deliveries so I can focus on my customers and creating beautiful arrangements.

I have donated to Habitat for Humanity, a large number of corsages for one of their fundraisers events.  I give back to the local high school Post Prom. And have donated many gift certificates to several organizations

more than just your average florist 

 Speedy, reliable deliveries and customer care that's beyond compare are just two things that set us apart.
